"Griego" is a noun & adjective meaning "Greek".
"Greco" as an independent word is speficially: 1. the name of the son of Zeus and Pandora II whose name became associated with a particular Hellenic tribe (the Greeks). 2. the name of a Spanish-Greek artist ("El Greco") 3. the name, in Spanish, of 2 varieties of grape Otherwise, "greco-" is a prefix meaning "Greek".
